Wishing you a Shiny New Year!

 Happy Tuesday everyone! Today on the Cheery Lynn Blog I am sharing a New Year card created with my favorite gears and the super fun metal colored card stocks [including the gold mirror card stock]. For the focal pocket watch die cut, I cut the watch die with the gold mirror card stock. I then used the angel wing die to cut a white background for the watch. I completed the watch by incorporating some metallic colored gears and a copper brad. The word New Year was cut from the Optimistic ½" size Alphabet--a super size for creating cards! The gear imagery was continued on the cover by the sentiment and onto the peek-a-boo side strip that I created by cutting back 1¼" of the front cover to reveal gears juxtaposed so that they "might" start turning. A rectangle of white was cut to allow for a message to be easily written on the inside. A bit of glittered Ankara Lace decorated the edge of the top flap.
